No, we always start out hot, then cool off. It's too early to make any assumptions, but losing to the Clips w/ Brand or Livingston is always worrying. If the Warriors start small again, they will get pounded. I hope B-Wright finally makes his debut and also has some sort of success on the glass.

You bet we start small. The better question is should we. I dont think that Pietrus deserves to start any more. He may be a good role player late in the game, but he is killing me with his fouls, and his crappy three pointers.

I’d test the combo of Dre and POB, as J-Pat brought up (but not POB starting). I actually mentioned this on a post a while back—our version of the running twin towers. But as TMC mentioned, I doubt Nelly tries it. But he really needs to open his eyes. Definitely, Al should start, and I’d find a way to get both B-Wright and especially Lasme in the game. Anyway, it can’t hurt to try, but definitely do something.

I agree with that lineup. On paper its obvious the flaws on the Warriors is rebounding and free throws and that lineup should help with the rebounding, as for the free throws am keeping my fingers crossed on that.

Am hoping we play the new bigs (B-Wright, and POB, even Crosher) on an experimental level just to see if they can help on the boards and alter shoots on the defensive end.

Key point of the game: Am no genuis but the am thinking the Warriors need to contain Boozer. I suggest a constant double team(allow the other Jazz players to beat us).

In theory. The problem is that you can't outscore a team that has 20 possessions more than you have. We have to find a way to reduce the difference on the boards (not so much inside scoring. The rebounding is the problem) and start from there. If not, it's gonna be another loss, unless the team shoots around .800, which rarely happens.
